Forza 4 / Toyota Sponsored Supercharged 2GRFE Roadster!

Post by Rogue »

Hi All,

Rogue Motorsport will be racing again in this year's Britcar 24hr race which takes place at Silverstone on the 1st and 2nd of October. This year the team has attracted title sponsorship from both Toyota and Microsoft.

Toyota have provided the team with the Supercharger fit-up kit from the Australian TRD Aurion - essentially the same equipment that powers the Lotus Evora S.

Microsoft will be promoting Forza Motorsport 4 which launches ten days after the event. The car and team will be branded in Forza livery and you'll be able to download a virtual version of our car to use in the game.

The car now looks like this:

Here's a video of it on the dyno at Thor Racing:

Now because this is a race car I'm hanging on to the exact power figures until after the 24hr event. However, the power and torque gains have been quite dramatic and I've posted a comparison plot with the scale removed below:

Our race suits are being provided by Alpinestars, with factory logos and customisation:

...as our refuelling suits:

If anyone is attending the event, you'll find us in garage 4a which we're sharing with the Gadget Show's team. We'll have a playable demo of Forza Motorsport 4 with us as well...

You can keep up with the team's progress on our facebook page:

...where we'll be posting updates and videos throughout the 24 hours.

Best regards,

Patrick Mortell

From what I understand, Suzi won't but Polyanna will. I could be wrong though.
